After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 67: They finally settled their grudges

Concubine Hua glanced at the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince stood up, stood in front of the Emperor and saluted politely, "I am a stupid son, and I would like you to assign me a teacher to teach me."

The emperor thought that the fourth prince would ask to move back to the palace from the Old Summer Palace, but he didn't expect that he only asked for a good teacher. The emperor was deeply moved.

"I am very pleased that you are so eager to learn. I will let Zhu Shi teach you from tomorrow."

The Fourth Prince was overjoyed and knelt down to pay respect, "Thank you, Father Emperor, for your grace!"

The emperor was very happy to see that he was very respectful and sensible to him. "Get up, isn't it just to find a teacher for you? When you grow up, I will find more and better teachers for you."

The Fourth Prince stood up and said happily, "Thank you, Father Royal."

Seeing the emperor happy, Concubine Hua smiled and said, "Look how happy the Fourth Prince is! But you have to go back and forth between Yuanmingyuan and the palace to attend classes more often in the future. Don't be lazy!"

The fourth prince smiled and said, "My son started to learn late, so he is slow to learn things. He will definitely not be lazy."

Hearing Hua Fei's words, the emperor frowned. It was indeed inconvenient for the Fourth Prince to go to the palace for classes since he lived in the Old Summer Palace. He turned the Buddhist beads in his hand while thinking. After thinking seriously, he looked at the Fourth Prince and said, "It is inconvenient for you to live in the Old Summer Palace. You should move back to the palace."

The Fourth Prince did not immediately show his happiness, but frowned and asked, "Will this bother the Emperor?"

It was an open secret in the palace that the emperor did not like his son, the Fourth Prince. Seeing the Fourth Prince asking so cautiously, the emperor felt a little sad. He stood up and patted his son, who had never been intimate with him, heavily.

"No, you can come back and live here without any worries."

The Fourth Prince nodded solemnly and saluted the Emperor again.

Concubine Qi knelt on the ground, and she was extremely anxious when she heard the emperor say that he wanted to bring the Fourth Prince back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, why bother so much? You can just ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a good carriage and invite Mr. Zhu to the Old Summer Palace."

"Shut up!" The emperor looked at Concubine Qi with disgust, "Take the Third Prince and go back to Changchun Palace to reflect on your mistakes."

The emperor had seen the jealousy and disputes in the harem over the princes. He also knew that Concubine Qi did not want the Fourth Prince to come back, fearing that the Fourth Prince would threaten the Third Prince's status and interests.

But no matter how humble the Fourth Prince's status was, he was still the son of Emperor Yongzheng, and it was not Concubine Qi's turn to point fingers at him.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to come to see me, but you must come to see Hongshi more often."

Su Peisheng saw that the emperor was secretly angry, so he tried to persuade Concubine Qi, "The emperor is still angry, your majesty, please stop talking."

Only then did Concubine Qi reluctantly take the Third Prince away.

.........

On the second day, when all the concubines paid their respects to the Queen, only Concubine Qi was missing. However, Zhen Huan, who had just recovered from her illness, came.

Seeing that Concubine Hua always paid her respects on time, the Queen could not find any fault.

"In the past six months, Concubine Hua has rarely come to pay her respects to me on time. This really surprises and touches me."

"Your Majesty, are you blaming me? Didn't I pay my respects to you before?" How could Concubine Hua not hear the sarcastic words from the Queen.

In the past, Hua Fei was indeed arrogant and presumptuous. She would pay her respects to the Queen when she wanted to, and would not pay her respects when she didn't want to. Now that she had paid her respects to the Queen so diligently, the Queen still wanted to play tricks on her and wouldn't let go of the past, which made Hua Fei very unhappy and she couldn't help but fight back.

The queen smiled awkwardly, "Sister, your intentions are good, why would I hold on to the past?"

Concubine Hua stroked her face lightly with her slender jade fingers and curled her lips slightly.

The Queen smiled and looked at the concubines. "It is already the middle of October, and the New Year is getting closer. The Emperor and I have discussed it and decided to increase the expenses of each palace. After all, when winter comes, we will inevitably need to buy winter clothes and charcoal. Although we advocate frugality, we still can't be too shabby."

Each concubine thanked the emperor and the empress one by one.

The Queen looked at these concubines with satisfaction, with a very kind smile on her face. Her eyes passed over their faces, young or old, one by one, and finally stopped on Zhen Huan. The smile in the Queen's eyes faded.

"Is Miss Wan feeling better?"

Zhen Huan bowed to the Queen and said, "Thank you for your concern, Queen. I am almost well now."

Concubine Cao raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying, "If Concubine Wan had not been ill, I think no one else here could match your favor except Concubine Hua."

After saying this, Concubine Cao looked at Concubine Hua with a smile, intending to ask for credit.

Concubine Hua's eyes showed anger. Concubine Cao was in a state of panic. Did she say anything wrong? She directed the jealousy and anger of the concubines towards Zhen Huan. Was there something wrong with that?

"Lady Cao is making fun of me. I only got a little favor from the emperor because I was not feeling well. I am not as good as you sisters who have been favored by the emperor for many years."

Concubine Cao smiled and said sarcastically, "Concubine Wan is being modest, isn't she? The emperor's kindness to you is something we cannot even hope to achieve!"

After saying this, Concubine Cao looked at the concubines, and quite a few of them nodded in agreement.

Zhen Huan felt a little uneasy. After all, becoming a public outrage would make her life in the harem even more difficult.

At this time, Concubine Hua coughed lightly. Concubine Cao understood and looked over, smiling and asking for credit again, only to receive a sharp look from Concubine Hua.

Concubine Cao was completely confused. Since Zhen Huan was favored, Concubine Hua should be angry and should be bullying Zhen Huan, right? She was teaching Zhen Huan a lesson on behalf of Concubine Hua, so why was Concubine Hua still angry?

Seeing that Concubine Hua was unhappy, Concubine Cao didn't dare to say anything and just smiled awkwardly.

"The noble lady Wan is not in good health, so it is only right for the emperor to visit her often." Hua Fei spoke at this time, and she looked at the queen, "Your Majesty, is this what you said?"

The queen smiled kindly, "That's right."

After all the concubines left, Jianqiu said, "Your Majesty, don't you think Concubine Hua has been acting a little abnormal recently?"

The queen slowly exhaled, "More than a little. It's very abnormal."

She looked into the distance, "I will never forget the scene when Concubine Hua rushed into Yanqing Palace with murderous intent and forced Concubine Duan to drink a bowl of boiling safflower soup. How fierce, how domineering, and how cruel! But the Emperor and the Queen Mother did not punish her."

Jianqiu was also present at the scene, and she was terrified and felt a chill down her spine. She would always remember that the queen's face turned pale with fear, but there was joy in her eyes.

The Queen originally thought that the Emperor would definitely punish Concubine Hua severely for her arrogant and disregarding human life behavior.

But the emperor said, "Concubine Duan also caused Concubine Hua to have a miscarriage and lose her child. They have finally made up for their grievances. Let's just forget about it and don't mention it again."
